U.S. Department of Transportation Launches Thriving Communities Program

Thriving Communities is a $30 million collaboration between the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help communities access once-in-a-generation levels of federal infrastructure funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and to deliver transformative projects. The program will pair a cohort of applicants with organizations who will provide technical assistance, planning, and capacity building support to grow community capacity to take projects from conception through to delivery. The program is focused on supporting under-resourced and disadvantaged urban, rural, and Tribal communities.

USDOT will be hosting a series of webinars for both those interested in receiving support through the Thriving Communities program and for capacity builders interested in applying for funding under the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Interested communities are encouraged to submit a Letter of Interest (LOI) prior to December 6 with the NOFO for capacity builders open until November 22. Fact sheets and links to webinar registration are available on the Thriving Communities webpage.
